Message: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ("through Jeremiah" is left out).
Time: Time of Moab
What the Lord is Saying: Nebo is laid waste; Kiriathaim is taken; Moab and the cities of Moab are no more.
For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
you also shall be taken; (Jeremiah 48:7a ESV)
“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed. (Jeremiah 48:10 ESV)
Problem: Moab:
magnified himself against the Lord (mentioned twice)
will wallow in his vomit
shall be held in derision
very proud (loftiness, pride, arrogance, haughtiness of his heart)
his boasts and deeds are false
Promise: Moab will be restored by the Lord, in the latter days.
